The French newspapers of late contain interesting description of a recent sur gical operation performed by Dr. Lanne longe at the Child's Hospital in Paris, which is among the first posi tive cures of hereditary idiocy noted in the progress of science. The subject operated upon was a diminutive child of four years of age, whose growth had been stunted by disease, who was unable to walk, and showed little or no interest in any of her surroundings. Working on the supposition that the skull was too narrow, a supposition borne out by many experiments and studies, the oper ation decided upon consisted in a surgi cal removal of substance enough from the left cavity of the skull to give ample room to the brain. The operation was made on the 9th of May last, and a month later the little gltl began to give every evidence of an improvement in health, and now the subject has been pronounced completely cured of her dis ease. She walks, talk and plays as do other children of her age. The opera tion is doubtless as delicate a thing as it U remarkable, and like so many of the most daring feats of surgical skill of re cent time does honor to the sagacity of the French.

An Alliance Organ Charges the R. R'i With Absorbing All Profits. The Virginia State Alliance Holds An Interesting Convention at Lynch burg, and Shake Hands Across the Bloody Chasm. Notes. Discussing Senator Leland Stanford's dictum in regard to railroads, that the "essence of ownership is control, the Fannerf Alliance figures out that the rril roads own the farms of this country, because they control the revenues from the same. It gives the following account of sales of one acre of corn : sales. One car corn, 674 bush. 36 lbs. at 200 per bush., $149 0 CHARGES. Freight, $08. 56; inspection, 40c; commission, $3.37, 62 33 Total net product, $87 63 It goes on to say : It will be seen that the freight on above car of corn amounts to a little over 8$ cents per bushel. This is the gross share the railroad company gets. Its net share is about that amount, or cents per bushel. Now, let us see how much the farmer gets out of it. This corn was raised in Cass county, and it is fair to suppose thut the land it was raised on was worth $30 per acre. It was raised in a good corn year, and it is fair to suppose the yield was about 50 bushels per acre. The account then would stand thus: Rent per acre, $2 50 Plowing, 1 00 Harrowing, 25 Planting, 50 Seed, 10 Plowing three times, 1 50 Picking, 2 00 Shelling, 50 Hauling, 1 00 Total expense of acre, $9 35 Income, fifty bushels corn at 18c, 6 50 Loss, $2 85 The above is a fair estimate of the cost of raising an acre of corn in Cass county, and the yield given is a good one. In order to come out without any loss, the expense must be reduced $2.85 per acre, and it cannot be done. But on that same corn, on which the farmer loses in unrecompensed labor nearly five cents per bushel, the railroad makes a net gain of i cents per bushel. "across the bloody chasm." The Virginia State Alliance held a rousing annual convention at Lynchburg. Many prominent public men were present, among whom were ex-Assistant Postmas ter General Thomas Brady, of Westmore land county ; Colonel Robert Beverly, of Fauquier; Major Mann Page, of Prince George ; and Captain Thomas Whitehead, State Commissioner of Agriculture. The second and third named were can didates for president for the ensuing year Major Page was elected. Col. Beverly was then elected vice-president. J. J. Silvey was re-elected secretary unanimous ly. The other officers elected were : Robert Snarley, of Wythe, State Lecturer, J. H. Garland, of Mecklenburg, assistant , Rev. Aldridge Grimsley, of Madison. Chaplain; B.F. Blahan, Door-Keeper. The following resolutions were unani mously adopted: "Whereas, Alliance:, are shaking hands across the Potomac, across the Mississippi, across the ragged peaks of the Rockies, and far grander still, across the "Bloody Chasm," across Mason and Dixon's Line; and "Whereas, Conscienceless politicians in our National Congress have advocated measures and expressed sentiments to arouse the old sectional feeling engen dered by the war ; therefore, be it Htsolced, That we, the State Farmer-' Alliance of Virginia, do intend to grasj. with a tighter Alliance grip the hands of our Alliance brethren of the North, deter mined to hold together with locked shields, in spite of all efforts to arouse prejudices between us. until the financial emancipation of the laborer and producer is accomplished." Georgia has 2.200 Alliances. Kansas has 2,769 Sub-Alliances anc 110,769 members. She is getting ther with both feet. The Alliance has already demonstrated by its recent meetings in the North and West that sectionalism as a political fac tor has run its course. As well miht the politicians attempt to dam the Mississippi with a straw as to expect much longer to keep the wealth-producers of the North, West and South fram fraternizing. Unity of action means self-preservation, and this fact is being rapidly learned. The Alliance picnic season is now on, and the brethren take the truths of the orators home to think over. The kind of pabulum that doesn't nourish the over night is at a discount. Let the lecturers give their best talents to the work, and results will attest their ability as economic teach ers. The Farmers' and Laborers Union and the Alliance of Arkansas hare consolidat ed the two organizations'. South Carolina has 1,052 Sub-Alliances, and a membership of 40,000. An increase of 300 Sub-Alliances and 17,500 member? since last report. Kansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia and South Carolina lead all other state in Alliance membership. Missouri is in the lead with 2, MX) unions. Concentrate your labor, concentrate your manure, and you may concentrate jour crops without lessening the quantity. PREFERRED PUBLIC POSITIONS.
